    Damn, that sucks.

    The studio head of Modern Warfare (all ghillied up), Titanfall / Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends. The guy clearly had an eye for taste / talent.

    His legacy will absolutely live on through his work. Fly high.

    I had no connection to him, nor do I truly care, but … really? Ferrari in the hed? Holy framing, Batman. A simple “car accident” would have acquitted itself just fine.

    This is like the hyperdetailed “get the name of the dog” that a certain generation expected. Fluffy doesn’t matter, and neither does a Ferrari.

      I think it was too show that “oh he was rich and unhinged and probably caused the accident himself”

        Based on the rest of the story…it kind of seems like he was driving his Ferrari way too fast.
